Toney vs Hopkins 160lbs

Both in there prime... James Toney spanks that ass all day! end of discussion

The trash talk and animosity between these two would make Brandon Rios look like a choir boy.

Toney was pretty inconsistent at 160. He looked brilliant in the draw with McCallum, not so great in his close win over him, terrible against Tiberi, okay against Johnson and Wolfe, I think he often gets too much criticism for struggling before stopping Nunn. Toney would have to be on top of his game against Hopkins. But I pick Hopkins largely for the fact that Toney, for pretty much all of his career, was much better against aggressive guys rather than guys who used more movement and made Toney come after them. Hopkins is obviously a very intelligent fighter in the ring who is not going to give his opponent the best chance of winning. He'd probably box and use more movement and try to make Toney chase him, en route to taking a decision.

tough... :thinking:

Both in there prime... James Toney spanks that ass all day!

If both of them are in top shape then I think Hopkins wins a close fight at either weight.Hopkins is always in top shape but Toney often is not. Two great middleweights.

I'd bet on Hopkins because he's more consistent even tough Toney is more talented.

i dont think any version of toney would beat any version of hopkins. see the grifith and mccallum fights.
